IRCCM missiles at 11.3 are a mistake, doesn’t matter what plane they are on.
The Jag IS shouldn’t have been only 11.3. It was mentioned when it released, but of course they didn’t do anything about it.
The Su-25/39 that have the R-73 were originally higher in BR, but it seems the players playing it were so damn awful with it, that it was lowered not only once, but twice. And there was also pushback against that, but that, of course, was thoroughly ignored.
The A-10C was also not very welcome with the 9Ms on such a low BR. But, as we already guessed it, the opinions were, again, ignored. (Not to mention the A-10C would sit at 0.3 higher BR that the JH-7 currently is).
The JH7 should be 11.3 or 11.7 without the PL-5EII. The most similar aircraft like the Tornado, F-111 or the Su-24 are also around that BR with only the 9L or the R-60M. Without IRCCM.
I feel this lower-tier JH7 is more suitable as a premium vehicle for the game. It would have a lower battle rating (even at 11.7, its BR environment would be much better compared to the 12.3 JH7A), equipped with 4x PL-5E2 missiles, and capable of destroying bases. However, once Gaijin realizes the issue, they would probably remove its PL-5E2 missiles.
